Heineken is up for creating a 15-second blockbuster using your tweet. You heard it right, the famous beer brand is entering the silver screen and it’s ready to win awards.

The story doesn’t end there. Heineken will premiere the 15-second film at Tribeca Film festival, which will be held within the following weeks. The engagement stats were overwhelming. Almost 2.000 tweets were tweeted using the #15secondpremiere hashtag. According to Andrea Folkerts, jr. brand manager for sponsorships and events at Heineken, 850 pitches were eligible for the contest.
